Monday morning a CAT scan was done which showed that Mom had bleeding going on inside her skull, on the opposite side of the tumour. This helped to explain why she had lost her physical motor skills on the left side of her body - the side which is normally the functional one. She was immediately flown to Edmonton on an air ambulance (Mo went along) and Dad Esau and I drove through the night (8 hours) to get there the following morning.

We ended up spending a full week in Edmonton with a couple of brain surgeries clearing out a substantial amount of pooled blood from Mom's head. On Monday of this week (28th) she was flown back to Dawson Creek, BC for continuing care. It's been a really tough week for her and she has had a number of seizures resulting in loss of speech for prolonged periods. We just found out last night that she will remain in hospital for at least the entire month of September.

So where does that leave us? Well...I don't know. I flew back to Montreal Tuesday night to look for work while Maureen stayed behind. The idea was that she would help with the transition in getting her mom back home before following me to Montreal. However, with this new info that her Mom will not be coming home anytime soon...we just don't know.

so, yeah...I'll keep you posted on what is going on.
